What it does

Jfi Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) manuscript for the journal's house conventions — numbered sections, author–date Elsevier referencing, a concise stand-alone abstract, specialist intermediation vocabulary, and prose that explains the mechanism before the specifications. It edits for style; it does not invent content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Revising a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) manuscript for the journals house conventions — numbered sections
  • Author–date Elsevier referencing
  • A concise stand-alone abstract
  • Specialist intermediation vocabulary

Example prompts

  • “/jfi-writing-style”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Jfi Writing Style loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Writing Style (jfi-writing-style)

When to trigger

  • Polishing a JFI draft before submission or revision
  • Aligning references, sections, and abstract with JFI/Elsevier conventions

JFI house conventions (verified 2026-06-20; re-confirm on the official page)

  • Numbered sections (1, 1.1, 1.1.1) structure the manuscript.
  • References: "your-paper-your-way" at submission — any internally consistent style is accepted; the journal applies an author–date (name–year) Elsevier style at proof. In-text citations give surname(s) and year, with "et al." for three or more authors; the list is alphabetical then chronological, with a/b/c disambiguation for same-author/same-year items. Keep author–year fields clean.
  • Abstract: concise, factual, and able to stand alone, with references avoided; keep it at 250 words or fewer.
  • Keywords: provide 1-7 English keywords for indexing.
  • Optional Highlights: 3–5 bullets, max 85 characters each, strongly encouraged.
  • Generative-AI disclosure: if AI writing tools were used, declare them in a dedicated section before the References (see jfi-submission).

Make the mechanism land

JFI is read by intermediation specialists who reward a clearly motivated economic mechanism:

  • Explain the intermediary friction and channel before the econometric specification or the formal model — the reader should know why before how.
  • Tie every result back to the intermediation contribution (see jfi-contribution-framing); avoid coefficient-by-coefficient narration with no economic interpretation.
  • Define institutional terms on first use; precision about banks, loans, and regulation signals fluency.

Mechanism-first rewrite, worked (illustrative)

  • Before: "We regress loan growth on the capital shortfall interacted with bank size, controlling for firm fixed effects. The coefficient is −2.1 and significant at the 1% level."
  • After: "Banks that must rebuild capital face a choice between costly equity and shrinking assets. If lending relationships embody information rivals cannot replicate, constrained banks can cut relationship credit without losing the borrower — so recapitalization's burden falls on locked-in firms. Consistent with this, a 1pp shortfall reduces credit to the same firm by 2.1pp, and twice that for single-bank borrowers."
  • The rewrite names friction → channel → prediction before the number, which is how this journal's specialist readership parses a result; the regression mechanics move to the design section.

An intermediation lexicon check

Loose vocabulary signals a non-specialist to a single-blind referee who knows your name:

  • liquidity creation (the Diamond–Dybvig transformation function) vs. liquidity provision (supplying funds) — not interchangeable;
  • capital requirement (the rule) vs. capital ratio (the outcome) vs. capital shock (the change you exploit);
  • say credit supply only after demand is absorbed — until then it is "lending growth";
  • relationship lending implies repeated interaction and private information, not merely an existing loan;
  • a run is strategic withdrawal, not any deposit outflow;
  • shadow bank denotes intermediation outside the regulated perimeter, not any nonbank financial firm.

Style pushbacks at this venue, and fixes

  • "The introduction is a results list" → restructure as friction, mechanism, design, finding, lesson.
  • "Notation drifts between model and empirics" → one symbol table; the model's friction parameter should be the object the regression coefficient estimates or proxies.
  • "Reads like a policy report" → replace recommendation language with the equilibrium or identified margin the analysis actually delivers.
  • "The abstract could describe ten papers" → one abstract sentence each for friction, design or model, headline magnitude or proposition, and the intermediation lesson; cut everything else.

Anti-patterns

  • A numbered/footnote citation style left in at submission with no internal consistency
  • An abstract stuffed with references or with no stated finding
  • Specifications introduced before the mechanism is explained
  • Forgetting the AI-disclosure section when such tools were used
